I have used this product this last year in place of potting mix. For the most part it is light and fluffy when prepared correctly. Seeds started easily. I had almost 100 seeds started. It was easy to add nutients to the water in the trays which i used to hold the peat pots. some seeds didn't do well but i do not think it was related to the coir.

I use this product to start seeds. All of my seeds grow every time and its economical as one block makes a lot of growing material. I have also used it to mix in my soil in raised beds and containers to help with moisture.

I bought this seed starter in part because it was compact to buy and have shipped and I have used starting mixes made of coir coconut husk fiber in the past. It's also a reasonable ecological choice. But my experience has been that used alone it has issues. It packs densely in pots - even if somewhat lightly packed at first, it condenses down and seeds seems to have a bit of a time getting roots down into the mix - resulting in seedlings popping up from the top of the mix with roots exposed. Then you must absolutely start using a fertilizer mix as soon as there is seedling emergence or growth rate is less than optimal. Inadvertently I had a "controlled experiment" using this mix since I planted one ABS with existing seedling mix and another with this product. Way better seedling growth using a seedling mix that was not exclusively coir.

This is my second year for using the ECO-COIR Seedstarting blocks. The price is competitive with other germinating mixes and they transport and store easily. I did not find any difference in my seedling health between using other mixes and the ECO-COIR. I have also used the larger shred COIR for potting and find it easy to transport and store. I think it performs just as well as bulky bagged mixes.

As described, this coir brick swelled up quickly when 4 quarts of warm water were added. I added some vermiculite and was ready to fill my seedling containers and start seeds. So easy, I will use this to start seeds every year! Glad I found it, glad you carry it and a great price too.

I've been using coir for years and think it's a great seed starting material. I've had mostly good experiences with it. I am very happy with this one. I had 100% germination. Can't get any better than that. Price was about comparable to other companies.
